Welcome to th 6th #ShelterChallenge wednesday update:

This time I write about a spontaneous informative shelter building performance at the Transition Town seedmarket and about free to lend cargobikes in Bielefeld...

I am contacting possible cooperation partners and present my masters project "Common Shelter" at local events. I reached one milestone: I successfully completed all necessary seminars at HSBI to start my last semester: From may 2026 I want to have a public shelter construction site as part of my masters project and i want to build real shelters. At the "Transition Town" Bielefeld seedmarket on march the 1st I started small:

I build a shelter model from recycled wood sticks (as shown on the image) and later put it on my info table. There was also a big Infosheet, flyers and a small 3D printed shelter model my lecturer Prof. Edith Kollath gave me as a gift. I had good talks with visitors and people working at the seedmarket that was organized by "Transition Town" Bielefeld.

"Transition Town" is a multicountry initiative for climatefriendly energy and local transformation. In Bielefeld it initiated repair cafés, community gardens and free cargobikes. At their infotable i found an interesting postcard about "Fleet Bielefeld" (in german "Flotte"):

"Free cargo and transportbikes in Bielefeld. Cargobikes, parallel tandem, riksha – the Flotte Bielefeld counts 17 bikes and one folding bike. They are free to use (donation appreciated) – use not own. The Flotte Bielefeld is a network of different cargobike projects and together working for the transformation of traffic." (my translation)

Cooperating initiatives are #ADFC, #AWO Sattelbar, Transition Town und #VCD OWL. All information on how to use and get the bikes is on https://flotte-bielefeld.de . A map with all bikes is here: https://flotte-bielefeld.de/#osm-standortkarte

One of my artistic ideas for the shelter construction site is that we together search resources for building and possibly use the free cargobikes to get them... e.g. gifted stones for the shelter legs and old pallets for the sleeping area.

See you soon!

Herzlich Willkommen zum 6. #ShelterChallenge-MittwochMittags-Update:

Heute geht es um eine spontane, informative Shelter-Bau-Performance bei einer Saatgutbörse und um kostenlose Lastenräder in Bielefeld...

Ich schreibe aktuell weitere mögliche Kooperationspartner*innen an und stelle das Master-Projekt "Common Shelter" bei thematisch passenden, örtlichen Veranstaltungen vor. Die formalen Hürden des Studium sind genommen: Ich habe alle Seminare im 2. Master-Semester bestanden und möchte ab Mai 2026 eine öffentliche Kunst-Baustelle im Rahmen meines Master-Projekt einrichten, und "echte" Shelter bauen. Bei der Saagutbörse von TransitionTown Bielefeld am Sonntag dem 1. März habe ich schonmal in klein angefangen:

Aus gutem Abfallholz, das bei einem lokalen Handwerksunternehmen als Verpackung anfällt, habe ich neben der Kinderbastelecke im historischen Saal der VHS ein Shelter-Modell für meinen kleinen Infotisch gebaut (siehe Bilder). Dazu gab es einen großen Infozettel, kleine Flyer und das von Professorin Edith Kollath 3D-gedruckte, kleine Shelter-Modell. Ich hatte einige gute Gespräche mit Besucher*innen und Aussteller*innen.

"Transition Town" ist eine in mehreren Ländern aktive Initiative, die sich für eine klimafreundliche Energiewende und insbesondere lokale Veränderungen einsetzt. In Bielefeld hat der Verein z.B. Repair-Cafés, Mitmachgärten und auch kostenlos leihbare Lastenräder mit ins Leben gerufen. Am Infostand gab es eine spannende Infopostkarte zur "Flotte Bielefeld":

"Freie Lasten- & Transporträder in Bielefeld. Ob Lastenrad, Paralleltandem oder Rikscha – die Flotte in Bielefeld zählt bereits 17 Räder und das VCD-Faltrad. Sie sind kostenlos gegen Spende ausleihbar – Nutzen statt besitzen. Die Flotte Bielefeld, die Vernetzung von verschiedenen freien Lasten- & Transportrad-Projekten, bringt ein weiteres Stück Verkehrswende auf die Straße."

Beteiligt sind ADFC, AWO Sattelbar, Transition Town und VCD OWL. Auf https://flotte-bielefeld.de gibt es alle Infos zur Nutzung der Räder. Die Standorte der Lastenräder sind hier zu sehen: https://flotte-bielefeld.de/#osm-standortkarte

Eine Idee zu meiner künstlerischen Shelter-Baustelle ist, dass wir zusammen Ressourcen für den Bau suchen und eventuell mit den Bielefelder Lastenrädern zusammentragen... z.B. geschenkte Betonplatten für die Shelter-Standbeine und ausgemusterte Paletten für die Liegefläche.

Soviel erstmal, bis Bald!

Ich lese gerade wieder von der Bezahlkarte.🤮

Gibt es in #Darmstadt mittlerweile ein Tauschzentrum, oder Menschen, die das in die Hand nehmen?

#transitiontown vielleicht?

#caritas oder sonst eine
Einrichtung unter dem Dach der #Kirche ? #Humanisten?

Retrööt erwünscht.

#today I will be visiting a school (the one I used to be governor of) to help in due course move them away from gas heating and towards zero emissions. But all this requires today is some photos of gas boilers I think! I will also see if I can check that the solar #PV I put in is still running.

Later I will be chairing the #AGM of #TTK #TransitionTown #Kingston and there will be snacks, and drinks!

Tomorrow/Thursday will be at #uni for a #PGR/#ECR conference - I will present my #research.

Last week, we were privileged to take a journey to the future with Rob Hopkins.

He shared about his forthcoming book for the first time and had advice for activists on how to give people a window into what a positive future can look, smell, sound and taste like, as a way to inspire and engage folks with the action we need to take to build it.

Watch back the recording of this brilliant session, which ranged from the landscape of beavers to Afrofuturism, music recordings to sound out the future to how art is paving the way for us to imagine different solutions. It is an inspiring way to start your year!

Transition group @playthinkbrink welcomed broadcaster and activist Chris Packham for campfire tea and chat at their meantime use space in the centre of Belfast recently.

Gawain Morrison, co-founder of Brink, said: "Just as it was about to snow, we sat round our fire pit & chatted about this part of the city, the heritage growing project on the site, with our partners Grow NI & quarto, the broken food system, renewables, activism & punk bands. Not a bad way to start the morning."

The project aims to spark conversations and new thinking about how their city of Belfast can transition to a better future. Chris added a message on heritage linen to their story ring: “Winning is not giving up and the fuel is love and rage”

Desperate about politics as usual? We know the feeling...

Assemblies are one way that ordinary people are re-imagining how politics could be. In these times, the way we listen to one another, think creatively together and decide on our best next steps is crucial to do better.

Politics as usual deadens our ability to respond and care: new politics brings us together and uses processes that take us beyond polarisation into a deeper understanding of one another and our world.

Join us this evening at 7.30pm to hear more about how this could work where you live - and how the Transition Assembly in February could bring our movement together to re-imagine and re-create the future...

Sustainable Starts was only born last year to help families find affordable and easy ways to make more green choices - now it’s growing up fast!

The Liverpool-based Transition group runs a nappy library, regular clothes swaps, an eco-playgroup, partyware hire and its piloting a baby clothes lending scheme, where parents pay £2 a month for a bundle. When these clothes are outgrown, the set can be returned for the next size up.

Started by four parents who know only too well the juggle of bills, kids, sleep and trying to do the right thing, they’ve always been motivated to bring families together and offer really practical, easy options. A Transition Together/Community Fund seedfunding grant helped them grow and try new projects out - now that experience has helped them secure a bigger £20,000 grant by the National Lottery Community Fund to further expand.

The group said: “This funding will support us to keep delivering the projects we've got, and to expand what we're offering - watch this space..." We certainly will!

Super exciting that Transition Stroud's e-bike hire project is set to grow from 5 to 25 bikes this autumn!

Volunteers currently lend bikes from 3 pick up points, helping people get around the rural and hilly area more easily, affordably and car free.

They set up the project with a range of community groups and The Bike Drop with seed funding from Transition Together and The National Lottery Community Fund. Now they've proved it works and unlocked additional support to expand into more locations, reach more people and loan half the new bikes at reduced rates for people on low incomes.

Jess Farr of Transition Stroud said: “We're hopeful that this project will encourage more people to choose to ride by bike - for work, school runs or just popping to the shops.”

Bike borrower Thea Pilikian echoed this: "I found the confidence to go on any road and conquer any hill, it was a very empowering experience to be given that freedom all on my own enjoying the peace, power and pleasure of a bike!"

Check out their project here: https://transitionstroud.org/transition-stroud-action-groups/e-bike-hire/

It was a very special day for participants in Transition Chipping Norton's outdoor youth project which they run in partnership with Learn2Sustain.

They recently hosted a group from the Maasai community in Kenya, cooking lunch for them, exploring each others culture and lives, and sharing some fun and games.

People from all ages and projects in the Transition group later enjoyed a campfire supper and the chance to connect with each other at an ancient stone circle near the town, watching the sunset together and reflecting on the exchange and our common humanity.

Cara Hedges from the group said it reminded everyone "what we do here affects those that are in Africa, how simple their life is and how complex we’ve made ours and just spend some time reflecting on what we can do to support all of those that we are affecting with our choices.”
